The timing predictability of embedded systems withhard real-time requirements is fundamental for guaranteeingtheir safe usage. With the emergence of multicore platformsthis task became very challenging. In this paper, a model-checking based approach will be described which allows us toguarantee timing bounds of multiple Synchronous Data FlowGraphs (SDFG) running on shared-bus multicore architectures.Our approach utilizes Timed Automata (TA) as a commonsemantic model to represent software components (SDF actors)and hardware components of the multicore platform. These TAare explored using the UPPAAL model-checker for providing thetiming guarantees. Our approach shows a significant precisionimprovement compared with the worst-case bounds estimatedbased on maximal delay for every bus access. Furthermore,scalability is examined to demonstrate analysis feasibility forsmall parallel systems.
